ABOUT

Pinellas Park is a city located in central Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 49,079 at the 2010 census.

History
The city was founded by Philadelphia publisher F. A. Davis, who purchased 12,800 acres (52 km2) of Hamilton Disston's land around 1911. Promotional brochures lured northerners, especially Pennsylvanians, to the town, noting the pleasant climate in the winter and the agreeable agricultural conditions. The Florida Association, a corporation, set up model farms and offered a free lot in the city with the purchase of ten acres of nearby farm land. The primary crop promoted was sugar cane. By 1912, lots in the city were being sold separately.The City of Pinellas Park was formally incorporated on October 14, 1914.Though not on the original Orange Line Railway, Pinellas Park did have a train depot, razed in 1970, on the line between Clearwater and St. Petersburg. The City lay on the vehicle road from St. Petersburg to Tampa. Growth was moderate until after World War II, when the city's population more than tripled.The Pinellas Park Historical Society seeks to preserve historical artifacts related to the area as well as educate the public through displays in the public library and elsewhere.
